Eliminating diapers: Will it help your baby in the long-run?

August 26, 2013 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

When it comes to establishing your unique fatherhood style, there are plenty of parenting trends that can influence how you approach handling your son or daughter.

One of the most innovative – and genuinely unique – methods for parenting kids through their diaper and potty training years is referred to as elimination communication.

What does this mean, exactly? In short, it means ditching the diapers and letting your baby do his or her business right in the open.

It doesn't matter what your father and son or father and daughter relationship is like – the fact of the matter is, cleaning up after a baby can be a lot of work at times. The appeal of getting rid of diapers – and with it, cutting back on the overall cost they carry – can seem all too attractive to some fathers, just on the idea alone.

However, going diaper-free speaks to dads on a whole other level, because disposable diapers can be harmful to the environment over time. Some parents believe they also contribute to rashes and can improve the health of babies, while others are interested in going diaper-free because they like the idea of enjoying greater intimacy with little ones.

So whether you're just curious about this up-and-coming trend or you're planning to embrace the idea of raising a baby without a diaper, consider learning more today!

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

169. Overcoming Childhood Trauma with Steven Scott Eichenblatt
byPaul Banas

In this powerful episode of Great Dad Talks, I speak with Steven Scott Eichenblatt about his gripping book, Pretend They’re All Dead. Steven shares his intense personal journey of growing up with an absent and then abusive father, overcoming extreme childhood trauma, and finding his way to becoming a supportive father himself.

We explore parental estrangement, generational trauma, and the lifelong impact of absence, along with how these experiences shaped Steven’s path as a lawyer and child advocate. He opens up about hard-earned lessons on presence, vulnerability, and why showing up for your children truly matters.

Whether you grew up with family challenges, are working to break cycles for your own kids, or just want to hear a raw and honest take on what it really means to be a father, this episode is for you.
